Pros

Great people and very reasonably priced health benefits. Competitive pay. They do give every professional employee a laptop and all of the files are online so you can work at home anytime if your manager allows it.

Cons

BDO is all about employees networking, ie, going out and building relationships and essentially being salesmen for the firm. If that isn't your thing, your reviews will not be good and they will eventually force you out. It's all about bringing in business. They struggle to keep the staff busy in the off season.

Pros

Consultants were not overworked, and people are generally staying in their own lane. Strong knowlegeable teammates and lots of internal resources to grow. Work life balance was good.

Cons

I left during a time of transition, since the top practice director retired and the EBA leader took over as interim leader. This interim guy seemed to be waiting for something to take any action with current resources, and he was not too interested in rallying or figuring things out as a team. If he had expectations, they were never communicated to me. The lack of clarity was very challenging for me personally, and it came off as a lack of support. I think others in the team probably feel similarly.
